Add 3 1/2 and 2 1/3, 

Firstly, find the common denominator. It is is 6

3 3/6 + 2 2/6

this gets you 5 5/6.

Take this away from 8:

8 - 5 5/6 = 2 1/6

So 2 1/6 of the board is left over.

A mass club has 40 members the number of girls is five less than two times the number of boys how many members are boys how many
Lorico [155]

Answer:

15 boys and 25 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of boys (b) and girls (g) is given as 40:

g + b = 40

The number of girls is 2 times the number of boys minus 5:

2b - 5 = g

First formula can be rewritten as g = 40 - b

Then you can substitute this for g in the second, and you get:

2b-5 = 40-b

Which simplifies to:

2b + b = 40 + 5

3b = 45

b = 15

g = 40-15 = 25

15 boys, 25 girls.

kozerog [31]

Answer:

length=16feet  width=12feet

Step-by-step explanation:

This may not be the best way, i just stumbled upon the answer using this.

I knew 14*14=196, which is relatively close to 192.

Then, I took away 2 from one of the 14s and added it to the other 14.

14-2=12    14+2=16

Apparently, 16*12 is 192, so that's the answer.
